I'm just a poor little Heffer, trying to survive and live life to the full amongst the rest of the cattle around the world, before I am eventually led to the slaughterhouse.....

4 Stomachs



In general most people (unless you're an over enthusiastic dairy farmer) see cows as just plain little domesticated beasts that chew on grass all day and squirt calcium out of their little quartet of nipples.

But when u dig a little deeper, you'll realise there's a bit more to them than meets the eye.
One thing I recently discovered about cows (some of you are now gonna think I'm well thick and naive like Ali G when he saw a cow for the first time), is the fact they have 4 stomachs.

WTF do you need 4 stomachs for??!!! Seriously! It's not as if cows have a rich and varied diet - only exception being the poor heffers that developed mad cow disease - then again I'd probably go crazy if I just found out my farmer had been feeding me the remains of my bloody relatives all this time. Still, 4 stomachs for digesting grass - it's no wonder they produce funky poo which makes lovely compost...

Tell u what I could do with an extra stomach right now as have eaten way too much junk and now feel slightly sick. Having said that I wonder if I'd be twice as big if I had 2 stomachs.

Now that's a disturbing thought....
